When completing the Threat section of the IJ (Part III. Risk): ▪ First Choice: Describe specific terror (or violent homegrown extremist) incidents, threats, hate crimes, and/or related vandalism, trespass, intimidation, or destruction of property that have targeted its property, membership, or personnel. This may also include a specific event or circumstance that impacted an affiliate or member of the organization’s system or network. ▪ Second Choice: Report on known incidents/threats that have occurred in the community and/or State where the organization is located. ▪ Third Choice: Reference the public record regarding incidents/threats against similar or like institutions at home or abroad. Since there is limited working space in the IJ, the sub-applicant should be selective in choosing appropriate examples to incorporate into the response: events that are most recent, geographically proximate, and closely related to their type or circumstance of their organization or are of such magnitude or breadth that they create a significant existential threat to the Jewish community at large. I. Overview of Recent Federal Risk Assessments of National Significance Summary The following assessments underscore the persistent threat of lethal violence and hate crimes against the Jewish community and other faith- and community-based institutions in the United States.

  • Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center Before the Armed Services Committee United States House of Representatives
    Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center before the Armed Services Committee United States House of Representatives Extremism in the Armed Forces March 24, 2021 My name is Lecia Brooks. I am chief of staff of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Thank you for the opportunity to present testimony on extremism in the U.S. Armed Forces and what we can do to address this challenge. Now in our 50th year, the SPLC is a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people. SPLC lawyers have worked to shut down some of the nation’s most violent white supremacist groups by winning crushing, multimillion-dollar jury verdicts on behalf of their victims. We have helped dismantle vestiges of Jim Crow, reformed juvenile justice practices, shattered barriers to equality for women, children, the LGBTQ+ community, and the disabled, and worked to protect low-wage immigrant workers from exploitation. The SPLC began tracking white supremacist activity in the 1980s, during a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and other organized extremist hate groups. Today, the SPLC is the premier U.S. nonprofit organization monitoring the activities of domestic hate groups and other extremists. Each year since 1990, we have conducted a census of hate groups operating across America, a list that is used extensively by journalists, law enforcement agencies, and scholars, among others. The SPLC Action Fund is dedicated to fighting for racial justice alongside impacted communities in pursuit of equity and opportunity for all.

Recent Events of National Significance Imminent Attack on Colorado Synagogue Prevented: Between November 1 and 2, 2019, Richard Holzer, 27, of Pueblo, Colorado, was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and allegedly admitted planning to blow up Temple Emanuel, a synagogue in Pueblo, Colorado. According to the criminal affidavit: Holzer used several Facebook accounts “to promote white supremacy ideology and acts of violence.” For example: o On July 11, he sent a message to another Facebook user stating, “getting ready to cap people.” He included three photos of himself dressed in clothing with white supremacy symbols, holding handguns and a semiautomatic rifle. o On Sept. 3, he told a Facebook user, “I wish the holocaust really did happen… they need to die.” o On Sept. 28, Holzer sent a video of himself urinating on the front door of what appears to be a Jewish center. o On Oct. 3, Holzer sent a message stating, “I’m getting ready for RAHOWA,” meaning a racial holy war. He also sent a voice mail stating he was going to Temple Emanuel “to scope it out.” o On Oct. 13, Holzer explained his plan to use arsenic to poison the synagogue in Pueblo on Oct. 31. On Oct. 17, Holzer met with three FBI undercover agents (UCs). o After the meeting, Holzer, an associate, and the undercover agents drove to Pueblo to visit Temple Emanuel. Holzer allegedly stated that Molotov cocktails would not “be enough” and the group discussed using pipe bombs.

  • Hate Beyond Borders: the Internationalization of White Supremacy
    Hate Beyond Borders: The Internationalization of White Supremacy Sections 1 Executive Summary 7 Conferences and Events 2 Introduction 8 Connections to Far-Right Political Parties 3 Summary of Country-Specific Ties Between 9 Additional White Supremacist Interaction European and American White Supremacists 10 Conclusion 4 European Influencers 11 Policy Recommendations 5 American Influencers 12 Footnotes 6 Canadian Influencers 13 Partner and Donor Recognition EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We are witnessing the internationalization of the white supremacist movement. Over the past decade, we have seen surging violence in the United States, Europe and beyond motivated by elements of white supremacy from Anders Breivik in Norway to Brenton Tarrant in New Zealand to Patrick Crusius in El Paso, Texas. These killers influence and inspire one another. European and American adherents are learning from each other, supporting each other and reaching new audiences. They feel empowered and emboldened because they perceive that they are influencing the political climate and reaching disaffected whites. 1 / 75 Global access to white supremacist ideology, and its easy dissemination across borders via various social media platforms, means many of the ideas promoted by the white supremacist movement — curtailing of non-white immigration, attacks on globalization and the accompanying conspiracies about elitist globalists — are increasingly part of mainstream political and social rhetoric. Exposing and understanding the connections among white supremacists and the paths by which they spread their hate are the first steps toward countering them. This report lays that groundwork, but continued vigilance and urgent action are necessary. Political leaders, law enforcement, social media companies, and educators have important roles to play and responsibilities to uphold.

  • Holocaust Revisionism
    Holocaust Revisionism by Mark R. Elsis This article is dedicated to everyone before me who has been ostracized, vilified, reticulated, set up, threatened, lost their jobs, bankrupted, beaten up, fire bombed, imprisoned and killed for standing up and telling the truth on this historical subject. This is also dedicated to a true humanitarian for the people of Palestine who was savagely beaten and hung by the cowardly agents of the Mossad. Vittorio Arrigoni (February 4, 1975 - April 15, 2011) Holocaust Revisionism has two main parts. The first is an overview of information to help explain whom the Jews are and the death and carnage that they have inflicted on the Gentiles throughout history. The second part consists of 50 in-depth sections of evidence dealing with and repudiating every major facet of the Jewish "Holocaust " myth. History Of The Jews 50 Sections Of Evidence "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." Jesus Christ (assassinated after calling the Jews money changers) Speaking to the Jews in the Gospel of St. John, 8:44 I well know that this is the third rail of all third rail topics to discuss or write about, so before anyone takes this piece the wrong way, please fully hear me out. Thank you very much for reading this article and for keeping an open mind on this most taboo issue.

  • Constructions of Terrorism in History and Analysis of Post-9/11 Domestic Terrorism in the United States
    Monopolies on Fanaticism: Constructions of Terrorism in History and Analysis of Post-9/11 Domestic Terrorism in the United States by Paige Anderholm Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science May, 2019 Approved by: Joseph Gonzalez, Ph.D., Thesis Director Jeff Holcomb, Ph.D., Second Reader Jefford Vahlbusch, Ph.D., Dean, The Honors College 1 All have blood on their hands—communism, liberalism, nationalism, each of the great religions, and even secularism. Nobody has a monopoly on fanaticism; nobody has a monopoly on humane values. —Amin Maalouf 2 Abstract This thesis explores how terrorism has been socially, politically, and historically constructed since its genesis in Jewish resistance to Roman occupation in 1st century AD. The first chapter provides a brief review of various shifts in terrorism to prove that terror is ever-shifting based on its milieu. The second chapter builds off of these shifts to explore the policy consequences of how U.S. policymakers currently construct and define terrorism. Beginning in the 1990s, terrorism became synonymous with Islam and this association was cemented by the events of 9/11. This tendency to link Islam with terrorism has had profound consequences, from a series of wars costing $5.6 trillion to half a million people dead. But after 17 years, the War on Terror has ushered in a period of endless war for the United States. The U.S.’s policy on terrorism is misdirected and based on fear of the Other costing the country international credibility, money, lives, and the integrity of various domestic institutions.

  • Mary B. Mccord Legal Director, Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection Visiting Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center
    Hearing before the House Committee on Financial Services Subcommittee on National Security, International Development, and Monetary Policy “A Persistent and Evolving Threat: An Examination of the Financing of Domestic Terrorism and Extremism” Mary B. McCord Legal Director, Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection Visiting Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center January 15, 2020 There are marked differences in the tools available to investigate the financing of domestic and international terrorism. This is because the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech and peaceful assembly of individuals and organizations in the United States, while providing no such protections for foreign individuals and organizations. Thus, U.S. law provides for the designation of foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) like ISIS and al Qaeda that engage in terrorist activity, even if those same organizations might engage in other activity that would be protected by the First Amendment if they were based in the U.S. An FTO designation allows the United States to enforce criminal statutes that prohibit providing material support or resources to designated FTOs. It also allows for other State Department and Treasury Department sanctions. Focusing on criminal enforcement tools, the statute that criminalizes providing material support to a designated FTO, 18 U.S.C. § 2339B, provides the basis for law enforcement and the intelligence community to open investigations on suspicion that an individual or entity may be financing a foreign terrorist organization, regardless of the purpose of the financing. In other words, even if a person wants to fund only the “humanitarian” operations of an FTO, it is prohibited. The material support statute drives U.S.

All information and citations from the original report that are confidential by law or excepted from public disclosure requirements have been redacted from this unclassified version. In some cases, the original Law Enforcement Sensitive citations have been replaced with citations to public sources that serve as alternative references. UNCLASSIFIED 1 UNCLASSIFIED THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 2 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED (U) Executive Summary (U) The key analytic judgments of this assessment include: (U) Domestic terrorism poses a persistent and varied threat to the State of Texas. There are three overall types of domestic terrorism: racially motivated, anti-government, and single issue. Each type contains further subsets, creating a fair amount of variance within this threat. Texas has previous or current activity associated with each of these types of domestic terrorism. This includes the recent loss of 22 lives when a suspected domestic terrorist opened fire in an El Paso, Texas Walmart. (U) Based on the prevalence of recently conducted attacks nationwide, White Racially Motivated (WRM) is currently the most violently active domestic terrorism type. Since 2018, WRM actors were responsible for at least three major attacks in the United States (including one in Texas), and several thwarted incidents.
